We started our using the Carlton Sheets program and I bought first property, a multi family for $500.00 bucks out of pocket.

we do have a program for the DIYer.  

It's through the HomePath / Home Buying program thru Fannie Mae.

I am currently almost two years into an investing education program with Rich Dad Education.  

So without really seeing a flyer of what you are trying to do and the numbers involved I would not know which program or lender might be best for your situation.Some lender stay in major metro's, others go further out.

In some areas there are incentives for creating affordable housing and even special voucher programs for housing vets.

@Nicholas Almgren, @Conor Hesch has a program with U.S.

He is THE Storage Guy and has a great program.

@Joel OwensI feel like I should pay you for the advice you have given me.I understand that research and knowing your market is key, and I hope my background in advanced statistical analyses will be able to give me an edge is some way since I have access to programs a lot of other real estate agents do not have.I'm actually working on a quick-fix analyses sheet and would love to share it with you afterwards and see what you think of it.Oren K.I definitely want to work with investors.I understand that each sale will be harder, the commissions will be smaller and the research will be more extensive.
